Special Notes on this Tutorial
For this tutorial to be applicable, you much have a clean install of a distribution of Windows. Secondly, it
assumes that you have Putty PuTTy SSH (Secure Shell) and/or PuTTy SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) installed and
running correctly.
Step One(A): Starting SSH
If you are trying to use SSH then continue reading Step One(A). if you're trying to use SFTP, then go to step One(B)
Now that that is out of the way we can begin. First, you will need to open PuTTy SSH. Once opened, you will need to
supply the username and the address of the server. Once these are supplied hit [Enter]. Next, you will be asked for
the password in a system terminal. Supply it, and hit [Enter]. Now you will see a system shell. This shell is the
one you're logged onto the remote host with.
Step Two(B): Using SFTP
To use PuTTy SFTP, it will of course, need to be installed on your computer. Open it, and you will see a program
that asks for your username, and the server address. Supply them, and hit enter. When this is done, you will see a
system terminal that asks for your password. Supply it, and hit [Enter]. At this point you will see a shell in the
terminal. To upload something with this program you will use the command put filename
(replacing filename with the filename to be uploaded.) you can retrieve files with the get command.
Other options are easily found with the help command.
